Molecular Breeding for Rice Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Nutritional Quality

Presents the latest knowledge of improving the stress tolerance, yield, and quality of rice crops

One of the most important cereal crops, rice provides food to more than half of the world population. Various abiotic stresses-currently impacting an estimated 60% of crop yields-are projected to increase in severity and frequency due to climate change. In light of the threat of global food grain insecurity, interest in molecular rice breeding has intensified in recent years. Progress has been ...
